nice work my young brother

Building a following on Steemit maybe much, much more profitable over the long-run, as every follower you get, or at least some percentage of your following, will be giving you upvotes for years to come.

That is not the case with Youtube, FB & Twitter, where your followers don't get compensated for commenting and viewing your material, and they are also forced to watch ads so you can make money.

Steemit makes it financially beneficial for both content creators and viewers/commenters!! Bid difference right there!

I think its dtube.video is better than youtube.com. just an opinion.

I'm with you, and there's no doubt about the degree of it's potential. Though I think we must also be honest and continue to improve its functionality. We need to implement/integrate [live]streaming, along w/ many other animations/features.

It can & will serve us much better than typical platforms. There is so much work to do :-)

Dtube has a lot of potential, but cannot be compared right now with Youtube. IMO. Let's hope in the future this will change πŸ˜‰

Well done Louis! I always appreciate your words :-)
I think we see eye to eye when it comes to Steemit & the unfortunate censorship of mainstream outlets (e.g. YouTube, Google, etc). I think we have a hell of a shot to overcome the monopoly.

You are doing it, we are doing it. Let's keep it up!

There should excist a youtube blockchain that works the same as steemit. Where you get money when people upvote your video. This way you would not be so dependend on advertising... I bet a youtube blockchain would rock. I would invest in it...

Great video Louis! The only thing we need here is an official app.

yes an app will be so good. I find myself wanting to be on steemit many times when i am away from my computer.

I saved the site to my phone home screen and it acts the same way an app would its just a little more awkward than say facebook/twitter. You also get 0 notifications. πŸ˜” lol

Thank you for talking about Steem ;) The best place for bloggers.

Steemit is not perfect though. Big Steem Power hodlers can downvote you. Your content does not disappear but it is less visible. Could lead to gigantic wars of downvotes in the future XD

So you earned more money on Steemit than on youtube.

Nice to see you are paying more attention to the Steem blockchain. Next step will be to realize Steem is actually better than Bitcoin. Say what?

Anyways, you are still in time to book a ticket for SteemFest 2 in Lisbon, early November. Could be an interesting conference for a content provider!

@ned and @dan know this of course. They describe the masses of "bitcoin maximalists".
Time will tell but it's bound to swing better than it is right now.. at some point we won't recognize STEEM for what it is today; it's going to be an interesting ride..

I totally agree with your arguments @louisthomas. I've been using Steemit for a while now and it has a lot of potential. There are other platforms like Ong.Social that looks really good too, better UI and more responsive. Keep doing a great job. Love your content πŸ˜‰

Glad to learn you're on STEEMIT already. Made good points ..... upvoted and resteeming !

Spot on Louis. Steemit is a better community where everyone can benefit.

The number one benefit of the Steemit platform is the commenter interaction; great idea and perfect execution. Youtube comments are 🀒.

Nice work man.. I salute you for making a lot of money on your post. I'm still a newbie here in steemit and I still need to learn a lot of things on how did you do it, even a cents, still got nothing here. Hope I'll be able to do that also in the near future.

Spot on mate, once again.
I heard about Steemit on your channel and now I'm hooked up :)
A great opportunity for everyone with a little creativity.

Love the videos. Full Steem ahead!

I would love to see all my youtube subscriptions on Steemit.

Really awesome work! I had no idea that steemit had so much more freedom compared to any of the other video content providers out there.

People have the power

πŸ‘ŒπŸΌUPVOTED AND FOLLOWED!!!!!!

Thanks for this gem of a video.

Steemit/Dtube is relatively new; but, because it is decentralized, I can envision it surpassing the currently heavily-censored YouTube.

Here’s a suggestion for getting your audience to join you on Steemit/Dtube:

Offer a weekly contest for new subs guaranteeing a bonus of SP for people who sign up from YT.

Thanks for sharing.

Peace.

If ya'll want a strong investment plan visit https://bitpetite.com/?aff=kipparinga (bitpetite) Its a bittumbler that privatizes btc transactions using other currencies. You as an investor get paid dividends from fees they charge people to use their service.

You can invest your BTC, ETH, LTC and or XMR into bitpetite for either;
6 weeks - 4.5% daily and 1 % on weekends. Total return - 147% (47%, 100% being your original investment)
9 weeks - 3.6% daily 1% on weekends. Total return - 180% (80%, 100% being your original investment)

They recently updated their server to allow almost instantaneous withdrawals - you get paid hourly through dividends and can withdraw on demand. (within the minimum amount which is less than 5 dollars)

I would deem it low - medium risk as of now -

Good luck and happy investing :)
